Quotes from Max Lucado

I think there is something about a story that is enduring. Stories take on a life of their own.

Be gone, sorrow, sickness, wheelchairs, and cancer! Enough of you, screams of fear and nights of horror! Death, you die! Life, you reign!

If we can understand that death is not the end but is really a transition into the next life, the great part of life, that frees us up into receiving God's courage and his help.

God grants us an uncommon life to the degree we surrender our common one.

What to change your life? Begin by saying, "The Lord is my shepherd."

One of the things I discover a lot in marriage counseling is the husband or wife trying to get their spiritual thirst quenched by their partner; I think that's a real common mistake that we make.

Initially, when I first became a Christian and got into ministry, my thought was that God existed to make my life better and to take me to Heaven. Now I realize that it is not about me at all. It is all about God and that He did this to display His plan to restore the Earth to the Garden of Eden state.

Gratitude is a dialysis of sorts... it flushes the self-pity out of our systems.

Next time a sunrise steals your breath or a meadow of flowers leave you speechless, remain that way. Say nothing, and listen as Heaven whispers, "Do you like it? I did it just for you."

Worry is irrelevant. It alters nothing. When was the last time you solved a problem by worrying about it?

No one can pray and worry at the same time.

The next time you're disappointed, don't panic. Don't give up. Just be patient and let God remind you He's still in control.
